RANGERNeo covers from 5 to 2500 MHz and includes HEVC
decoding. On top of that, the RANGERNeo 4 features a
4K decoder displaying UHD services. The rest of RANGERNeo
models feature the “4K frame grabber” tool which decodes
UHD video frames and displays them in a slideshow mode.
RANGERNeo can receive a T2-MI signal via RF, ASI and IP,
in which case it can perform transport quality measurements,
T2-MI packet analysis and PSI extraction from each PLP.
Reference traces
Freeze the spectrum graph and compare it with the running
trace. Save that information and use it to identify satellites
based on their spectrum footprint.

16/32 APSK, 8PSK and QPSK constellation
In the case of an ideal transmission channel, free of noise and
interferences, all symbols are recognized by the demodulator
without errors. In this case, they are represented in the
constellation diagram as well defined points hitting in the same
area and forming a clear dot.

LTE INGRESS TEST
Should you install an LTE filter?
Test your TV distribution system.
LTE i n t e r f e r e n c e
LTE interference on SMATV systems
The RANGERNeo has a variery of tools to compare the
signal reception quality measurements on digital TV channels
with and without the LTE filter. This is very helpful to
anticipate the performance improvement you should expect
on your TV distribution system well before you physically
make changes to the cabling to insert the LTE filter.

LTE Signals
LTE signals and channel repack
The use of Smartphones is widely spread all over the world.
In order to meet user demand for bandwidth, mobile phone
operators need to expand their networks, use more efficient
transmission standards (LTE) and use part of the bandwidth
historically assigned to TV broadcast services (channel
repack in the US or digital dividend in Europe).

HIGH END FUNCTIONS
The bitrate analysis shows on a pie chart the real
time bitrate used by each one of the services in a
transport stream. It is also possible to do alarm
monitoring according to TR-101-290.

Table analysis
This function shows every detail of the transport stream
tables in real time on a tree diagram. This is an outstanding
function which is normally only available in more expensive
equipment. It is possible to navigate through the tree
branches using the joystick or the touch screen functionality.
TILT
Using pilot generators as a reference, the TILT feature helps
us to equalize the CATV network. We can detect as many
as 4 pilots along the band from 6 – 999 MHz. The meter will
calculate the level difference between the two most distant
pilots and the tilt measurement (dB/MHz).

Powerful datalogge
Datalogger and Test&Go
The datalogger can perform channel power, carrier/noise,
BER, MER... measurements automatically. It can also save
information from the NIT table such as the network name or
even the SID and names of the services in the mux under test.
All this information is saved inside the meter and it can
be downloaded to a USB memory or to a PC for further
processing later on.
Task planner
This function allows to set-up a task list, both for screen cap-
ture or Datalogger acquisition, selecting when to start, a re-
petition rate and the number of times the selected task must
be performed. The equipment can be switched off after setting
all parameters and will itself wake-up, at the required time, to
perform the planned tasks.

Optical
Selective optical-to-RF converter
RFoG (Radiofrequency-over-Glass), as well as optical
TV&SAT distribution, is used more and more by operators
because it allows them to benefit from the advantages of fibre
optics to compete with FTTH service providers. The RF signal
at the converter output can be analyzed, measured and
decoded by the meter as one would usually do with any sig-
nal over copper wires.

Creating reports
All this information is saved automatically to either the internal
meter’s memory or to an external USB memory and can be
transferred to a PC computer using a universal XML format.
Once on the PC the data can be processed and presented in
different ways among which overlaying the values on a map
is the most interesting.
